Gobble Up the Fun! Your Guide to Thanksgiving Events in Coral Springs, Florida

Thanksgiving is the perfect blend of active community, sincere gratitude, and the start of the holiday season! If you're looking to balance your feast with some fun and philanthropy, here's your guide to the best events in and around our city this November.

1. Turkey Trots: Burn Calories for a Cause

While Coral Springs itself may not host a dedicated Turkey Trot this year, Broward County provides excellent options just a short drive away on Thanksgiving morning (Thursday, November 27, 2025):

• Fort Lauderdale Turkey Trot 5K: Just a short drive away, this is a major tradition in Broward County, attracting thousands of runners, walkers, and "wobblers." It's set against the beautiful backdrop of A1A, offering stunning ocean views as you run. Register early, as commemorative shirts and medals are limited!
  
  
  
  

• Tamarac Turkey Trot 5K: Held in neighboring Tamarac, this event is another excellent option for a fast, flat, and USATF-certified course. It’s perfect for serious runners and families alike, with a festive community atmosphere. Registration typically closes early or sells out, so don't wait!
  
  

These morning races are a great way to explore different Coral Springs-area neighborhoods before the holiday festivities begin!

2. Give Back: Food Drives & Volunteer Opportunities

November is the month for giving. Help ensure every family has a Thanksgiving meal by supporting these key local organizations:

• The Pantry of Broward: They urgently need frozen turkeys and non-perishable holiday "fixings" (canned vegetables, stuffing, etc.) to distribute to local seniors and families. Look for drop-off locations throughout the city in early-to-mid November.
  
  

• Feeding South Florida: Check their website for specific volunteer shifts for sorting and packing food boxes in their Broward facilities. It's a fantastic way to earn service hours or volunteer as a family.
  
  

• Branches Meal Delivery: For hands-on volunteering, check their registration page in early November for opportunities to prepare and deliver meals on Thanksgiving Day in Broward County.

3. Community & Lifestyle: November Events

Keep an eye on the official City of Coral Springs and Chamber of Commerce calendars for these great ways to connect:

• Holiday Bazaars & Markets: Local churches and community groups often host craft fairs and markets throughout November. They're perfect for picking up fresh goods for your feast or finding unique, local holiday gifts.

• Local Networking: Business mixers and community gatherings continue through the month. Connecting with local professionals is a great way to stay plugged into the economic and social heartbeat of Coral Springs.

Your Thanksgiving Real Estate Insight

For buyers and sellers, remember that November is a key time:

• Buyers: With fewer casual competitors, you have a better chance to negotiate in a market of highly motivated sellers.

• Sellers: A well-staged, cozy home in Coral Springs stands out beautifully against the lower inventory. Focus on seasonal curb appeal (clean walkways, fresh mulch) and highlighting the interior warmth!

This Thanksgiving, we are grateful for the vibrant community we serve. We wish you and your family a joyous and memorable holiday season!
